The U.S. government has entered a grinding shutdown as national debt soars to $37 trillion, sparking fierce partisan blame. Republican voices, including Leavitt, accuse Democrats of forcing the crisis by demanding taxpayer-funded healthcare for undocumented immigrants. The White House press secretary echoed the stance, declaring that Republicans “will not make Americans pay for free healthcare for illegal aliens” amid record debt. The standoff underscores deep divisions over spending, immigration, and fiscal responsibility as Washington edges into economic uncertainty.

00:00Democrats in Congress have officially shut down the United States government.
00:05House Republicans passed a nonpartisan, clean piece of legislation to extend current government funding until November 21st.
00:14But nearly every single Democrat senator voted against this bill.
00:18To be clear, this was the exact same bill that Democrats approved six short months ago in March, just adjusted for inflation.
00:26This is the same kind of clean funding bill that Democrats passed 13 separate times when they held the majority during Joe Biden's administration.
00:35So the American people woke up this morning and asked the obvious question.
00:40Why is the government shut down right now?
00:43The answer is pure partisan politics being played by the Democrat Party.
00:47The Democrats shut down the government because President Trump and the Republicans will not force American taxpayers to pay for free health care for illegal aliens.
00:57America is $37 trillion in debt.
01:00We cannot afford to provide taxpayer-funded free health care to illegals who broke the law to enter our country.
01:07To put this all into perspective, the Democrats refused to keep the government open over health care to illegal aliens,
01:14and now have jeopardized critical health care programs for American citizens instead.
01:20The Women, Infants, and Children program, Community Health Center funding, Medicare treatment options, and other health programs are now all at risk
01:28because of the Democrats rejecting the clean CR.
01:32The most vulnerable in our country are being punished because the Democrats want to prioritize illegals over American citizens.
01:39And if Democrats actually cared about health care, they would applaud the actions taken by President Trump just yesterday in the Oval Office.
01:47He took a bold and massively popular action to improve our health care system.
01:53He announced the first agreement with a major pharmaceutical company, Pfizer, to lower drug costs for Americans.
01:59This is a historical achievement long sought by past Democrat presidents that only President Trump was able to get done.
